COO-KIES! In the great cake vs biscuit debate (I know we’re all winners in that contest really) my husband is very much a cake kinda guy and I have always felt more in tune with the cookie monster. Not that I don’t enjoy a good cake, but there’s something about the grip-able, dunk-able nature of…

Tropical Mango & Coconut-Ice Smoothie Bowl (v)
Mango & Coconut Smoothie Float! I find smoothies are an easy way for me to make sure I get some good vitamins and nutrients into me each day. There’s some evidence to suggest that blending fruits and vegetables means you’re not getting the full benefit and they can sometimes be high in sugar, but I’ve…
Butternut Squash & Spinach Samosas (v)

After making some veggie fajitas at the weekend I needed something quick and easy to use up a few corn…
Butternut Squash, Spinach & Pine Nut Tacos With Spicy Beetroot Relish

Anything that you eat with your fingers always feel like a treat to me and the combination of the sweet, sticky squash with the zingy beetroot dip is so satisfying it hurts. These little treats are perfect to share with friends or for a healthy light lunch. They would be…
